How long have you been waiting now?

We finally moved to AP on sept 1, after 2 weeks of their eMed tech issues. It’s just this entire process it’s been something y’know? 
 

@zochu maybe they’re just having a hard time licking the mailing stamp to the envelope 😉

I feel you on that it's always something!! It's literally always something! Actually, because of what you guys are going through with the medical delay, we asked for a later interview date to try and have extra time for that medical to get to the consulate!

I'm happy to report in that I have an interview in Sydney on 22 September.  It will be an expensive process as i will have to quarantine when I return to Brisbane, but it is good to know that the expedite request was accepted and we are finally moving.  The Petition for I-130 was submitted in October 2018.  DQ was back in May this year, but there was no movement until the expedite request.  There's still so many questions and conflicting advice on the website, so it's a daunting process.

Hi Lovely People!

 

We sent through our expedite to the SydneyIV email address along with a doctors medical certificate just for extra leverage. Does anyone know how long it'll take for them to reply!? I am so nervous, my fingers and toes are crossed.

I was approved the following day BUT I am now not hearing back from them that quickly. I haven't even been sent packet 3 since my case arrived from NVC. But hopefully the response is fairly quick for you!

Unless I've been put in a pile of "you're from VIC, we are going to ignore you for a while" 😂
